Just got back from checking my Sears. Looks like there were some small drops for May, approximately $2-$3. The prices are still too high for me so I didn't check many specific games (the employee was actually just re-tagging them), but some games did not drop at all such as the UC 1+2 bundle.

Not sure if we'll see the huge drops like last year, but 90% of my Sears gaming section was on clearance.

Wii

Flingsmash $19.97
Spongebob Squigglepants 19.97
Birthday Party bash $6.97

DS

Zelda Spirit tracks $19.97

I saw an Uncharted dual pack at my store. Don't remember the exact price but Google shopping has it listed at $34.97. Probably last month's price, so it may be lower now.

It was $30.97 here last month and Google Shopping is showing $28.97 now for it. It went down a whole $2. Woopity freakin' doo.

As for Sears no longer selling games, I'm leaning towards that being true, since the store up in DeWitt(NY) on Tuesday had 90-95% of their games on clearance.

Are you sure this has been updated already? It shows the same price for the uncharted dual pack but the flingsmash is listed at 29.97 in my store and not 19.97 as reported by others here. Usually it takes until Saturday or Sunday for the update to hit google shopping.

edit:

I just checked my list of prices I found through google shopping last month, the prices have NOT updated yet. Last month they didn't update until late morning on Saturday.

Not sure. I stopped bothering with Sears clearance a while ago cuz of everything taking forinever to drop to $10 or less anymore. I still go into the stores occasionally to see if I can find anything at a halfway decent price. But the last thing I found and bought(before the PSPGo's) was Little Big Planet vanilla for $10 last fall.

Manchester, CT Sears was ghettolicious - no markdowns whatsoever, everything is MSRP. This store can kiss my ass.

No drops at my local Sears...however, to my delight, there was a big 50% off all videogames & accessories sign! Someone had already cleared out the cheapest stuff, but I grabbed one of every good game listed at $30 or less. Nice haul today.

ALL videogames and accessories?! Lucky.

Did you take notice of a Sears around PA closing down couple months ago? A few months ago the local Sears had a much smaller selection of games of only the newer/more expensive stuff. The guy said they shipped off a good chunk of the games to a closing store of which I can't remember which Sears it was.

Which side of PA are you talking about?
The ones around Pitt are bogus as of the last few months

Same here pretty much. Very few games are on clearance and the ones that are haven't changed in months. Last time I went, they still had bins 95% full of Where The Wild Things Are, Minute To Win It, Cid The Dummy, and DefJam Rap Star (or whatever it's called).

No. If anything I've noticed a few Sears stores popping up on the Google Shopping thing that I don't even think exist. It listed one in Marshall's Creek, right near the NJ border, even though there's already one in Stroudsburg.

I also noticed the sign for a Sears store in a shopping center along I-81 up in NY state(near Cortland) that I had never noticed before. I checked some random stuff on Google Shopping and it DID list that store but everything I checked was OOS at that one. Weird.

Yes! They wouldn't apply it to the Kinect, though. Not a worry, as I did quite well otherwise.

They confirmed that all Sears stores are getting rid of their videogames so they can leave that aspect of the business to KMart...something that we all know can only end well.

WHA???? All Sears or all Sears in your area? That's a massive change. Sears has been selling games for so long.

Checked my store and they still had clearance stickers dated to February, very disappointing.

You should still check the prices on those games, even if they're still only marked with FEB stickers. That's how many of us used to get insane deals, since stuff isn't stickered or stickered with the current price.

I figured everyone in this thread already knew that Sears employees are lazy and don't update the stickers? Regardless, tomorrow google shopping should update and it will time to go shopping.

agreed. i took a couple games downstairs to price check them and all were cheaper then the stickers. for ps3 bayonetta 12.97, little big planet 2 19.97, and nba jam 19.97

I checked Google Shopping and they were listed as the same so I figured no drop. I'll have to get a few scanned tomorrow before work to be sure, I really want to pick up Ghost of Sparta for sub $10.
